Method for fastening objects flush to a surface

1. A method of securing an object flush to a surface of a planar member, comprising: inserting an engagement member of said object into an opening in said planar member, said insertion of said engagement member causing said engagement member to move in a first direction and remains at or below said surface; repositioning said engagement member of said object in said opening, said repositioning causes said engagement member to be moved in a second direction, said second direction repositioning said engagement member in said opening, and said engagement member remains at or below said surface; and applying an engaging force to a portion of said engagement member, said engaging force being applied in a third direction, said third direction being substantially opposite to said first direction, and said engaging force causing said portion of said engagement member of said object to be secured within said opening and said engagement member being flush or below said surface.

2. The method recited in claim 1 wherein: said second direction being substantially orthogonal to said first direction.

3. The method recited in claim 1 wherein: said opening is configured to have a pair of tab portions which depend inwardly towards each other.

4. The method recited in claim 3 wherein: said tab portions each have an engagement surface, said engagement surface making contact with said engagement member of said object.

5. The method recited in claim 4 wherein: said engagement surface is chamferred.

6. The method recited in claim 3 wherein: said opening includes a receiving opening, an engaging opening and a staking opening; said receiving opening is configured to have a pair of sidewalls, said pair of sidewalls are tapered; said staking opening and said receiving opening include a width greater than a width of said engagement members; said engaging opening includes said tab portions.

7. The method recited in claim 1 wherein: said object is a plurality of objects, said plurality of objects are secured to at or below said surface of said planar member, said surface of said planar member is a mounting surface of a mounting structure, said mounting surface having a plurality of openings.

8. A method of securing a plurality of objects flush to a surface of a mounting structure, comprising: inserting a pair of engagement members of said plurality of objects through a pair of openings in said surface of said mounting structure, said insertion of said pair of engagement members causing said pair of engagement members to move in a first direction; repositioning said pair of engagement members of said plurality objects in said pair of openings, said repositioning causes said pair of engagement members to be moved in a second direction, said second direction being substantially orthogonal to said first direction; and applying an engaging force to said plurality of objects, said engaging force being applied in a third direction, said third direction being substantially opposite said first direction, and said engaging force causing said pair of engagement members of said plurality of objects to be secured within said pair of openings and said pair of engagement members being flush with said surface of said mounting structure; said plurality of objects are at least one securement member, said securement member secured to said surface of said mounting structure, said securement member having said pair of engagement members, said pair of engagement members each having an upper surface and a pair of sidewalls, said sidewalls of said pair of engagement members being fixedly secured within said pair of openings in said surface of said mounting structure whereby said upper surface of said pair of engagement members are flush with said surface of said mounting structure; said pair of openings are configured to have a pair of tab portions which depend inwardly towards each other, said tab portions each have an engagement surface, said engagement surface making contact with said pair of engagement members of said plurality of objects, said engagement surfaces are chamferred, said pair of openings include a receiving opening, an engaging opening and a staking opening, said engaging opening includes said tab portions.

9. A method of securing a plurality of objects flush to a surface of a mounting structure, comprising: inserting an engagement member of said plurality of objects through a plurality of openings in said surface of said mounting structure, said insertion of said engagement member causing said engagement member to move in a first direction; repositioning said engagement member of said plurality objects in said plurality of openings, said repositioning causes said engagement member to be moved in a second direction, said second direction being substantially orthogonal to said first direction; applying an engaging force to said plurality of objects, said engaging force being applied in a third direction, said third direction being substantially opposite said first direction, and said engaging force causing said engagement member of said plurality of objects to be secured within said plurality of openings and said engagement member being flush with said surface of said mounting structure; said plurality of objects are at least one securement member, said securement member having an engagement member, said engagement member is a pair of engagement members securing said securement member in said plurality of openings in said surface of said mounting structure, said pair of engagement members each having an upper surface and a pair of sidewalls, said sidewalls of said pair of engagement members being fixedly secured within said plurality of openings in said surface of said mounting structure whereby said upper surface of said engagement members are flush with said surface of said mounting structure; said plurality of openings are configured to have a pair of tab portions which depend inwardly towards each other, said tab portions each have an engagement surface, said engagement surface making contact with said pair of engagement members of said at least one securement member, said engagement surfaces are chamferred, said plurality of openings include a receiving opening, an engaging opening and a staking opening, said engaging opening includes said tab portions.

10. A method of securing an object flush to a surface, comprising: inserting a portion of said object through an opening in said surface, said insertion of said portion causing said object to move in a first direction; repositioning said portion of said object in said opening, said repositioning causes said portion to be moved in a second direction, said second direction being substantially orthogonal to said first direction; applying an engaging force to said portion of said object, said engaging force being applied in a third direction, said third direction being substantially opposite to said first direction, and said engaging force causing said portion of said object to be secured within said opening and said portion of said object being flush with said surface; and said opening having a first portion and a second portion, said first portion being larger than said portion of said object, said second portion being smaller than said portion of said object.

11. The method recited in claim 10 wherein: said opening is configured to have a pair of tab portions which depend inwardly towards each other.

12. The method recited in claim 11 wherein: said tab portions each have an engagement surface, said engagement surface making contact with said portion of said object.

13. The method recited in claim 12 wherein: said engagement surface is chamferred.

14. The method recited in claim 11 wherein: said opening includes a receiving opening, an engaging opening and a staking opening; said receiving opening is configured to have at least one pair of sidewalls, said pair of sidewalls are tapered; said staking opening and said receiving opening include a width greater than a width of said portion of said object; said engaging opening includes said tab portions; said engaging opening includes a width, said width of said engaging opening being smaller than a width of said portion of said object.

15. The method recited in claim 10 wherein: said object is a plurality of objects, said plurality of objects are a plurality of securement members, said securement members are secured to said surface, said surface is a mounting surface of a mounting structure, said mounting surface having a plurality of openings.
